Choosing garden furniture: how to design your outdoor space

Terraces, balconies and gardens are increasingly becoming an extra living space. Comfortable furniture, natural materials and homely accessories create an atmosphere where you'll love spending time. But which garden furniture suits your outdoor space, and what should you look out for when choosing it?

Which garden furniture suits my outdoor space?

When choosing, start with the space available and how you want to use it. A dining table with chairs is ideal for shared meals, while a lounge set invites you to relax. On smaller balconies, compact or flexible furniture is particularly practical.

Which materials are suitable for garden furniture?

Garden furniture should be robust and suitable for outdoor use. Aluminium is lightweight and easy to care for, teak brings natural warmth to your outdoor space, and outdoor fabrics add extra comfort. Weatherproof cushions and quick-drying materials are also making lounge furniture increasingly homely.

Which shapes and colours work?

Organic shapes and rounded silhouettes make garden furniture look lighter and more inviting. When it comes to colour, beige, cream, sand and taupe form a calm base. Sage green, terracotta or blue add deliberate accents and combine well with natural materials.

How can you combine garden furniture flexibly?

Modular lounge furniture can be arranged in different ways depending on the space and occasion. You can add individual elements or rearrange them, which offers lots of flexibility, especially on balconies and smaller terraces.

How do you make your outdoor space cosier?

Outdoor cushions, rugs and throws make a seating area more homely and add extra comfort. Add a portable lamp or lantern, and you'll have a pleasant atmosphere in the evening too. That way, your outdoor space becomes a real second living room.

When choosing garden furniture, it all comes down to the interplay of comfort, functionality and design. If you combine weatherproof materials with matching colours, flexible furniture and homely accessories, you'll create an outdoor space that suits your style and everyday life.
